BEAT, the supergroup celebrating ’80s King Crimson, have announced a new live album, BEAT LIVE, out September 26th. The track “Neal and Jack and Me” can be streamed now.
The release captures BEAT’s 2024 concert in Los Angeles — previously the focus of a livestream performance — along with additional recordings from the band’s massive North American tour last fall.
The outing saw classic King Crimson members Adrian Belew and Tony Levin teamed with guitar virtuoso Steve Vai and Tool drummer Danny Carey. Taking their name from the seminal 1982 King Crimson album, BEAT revisited the progressive rock band’s output during that decade, specifically 1981’s Discipline, the aforementioned Beat, and 1983’s Three of a Perfect Pair.
Belew reflected in a press release: “You’re walking on stage with three virtuoso musicians, world class professionals who have seen it all but are still having fun playing this music which is timeless and unlike anything done before or since and the audience knows every word and are so thrilled with the performance the energy and love beaming back at you is overwhelming. What could be better?”
Added Danny Carey, “I look forward to every show I get to perform with Tony, Adrian and Steve with excitement and awe. Playing gigs with musicians of this caliber is a dream come true. These songs are fun and challenging and the promise of inspiration, execution, and surprise has never let me down. I can’t wait to do more!”
BEAT LIVE will be released in three configurations: a 3-LP vinyl set, a 2-CD/Blu-ray release, and a limited collector’s edition containing the 2-CD/Blu-ray, a bonus CD, and a 36-page artbook. Pre-orders are available via Century Media.
